Bob graduated from college (long ago) with a degree in philosophy but the imperatives of earning a living led him to a long career in the computer world as a programmer and manager.

In an unexpected way this career path led him to the world of photography and art. Tired of spending all day in an office, Bob sought a hobby that would get him outdoors, away from computers. It was a choice between golf and photography, and it soon became clear that he was not a good golfer. A beginning darkroom class hooked Bob on photography and his long fascination with making prints began.

In 1998 Bob decided to leave the corporate world and left his job without a clear next step in mind. Fine art digital printing was just beginning to get the traction that would ultimately cause it to revolutionize the world of photography. Deciding to join that trajectory and take advantage of his passion for photography and his background in technology, he founded Color Folio, a fine art digital printing studio, which he runs to this day. This business gives him an opportunity to continuously recharge his artistic battery through association with painters and photographers all over the country.

In 2000, Bob and his family moved to Sonoma County, California, in the middle of wine country. The natural beauty that surrounds him everyday finds its way into his artwork. His wife, Susan, is a well known watermedia painter who teaches workshops and is a published author.

Bob continues to look for ways to explore his own artistic wanderlust. Over the years he has spent much time painting with acrylics and pastels and making monoprints. But he keeps coming back to photography, bringing what he’s learned in these other endeavors with him and eagerly embracing the exciting and rapid developments that have continued to redefine what it means to be a photographer.
